TCL has skyrocketed in popularity thanks to their new 6-Series
TVs line, which are widely considered to deliver incredible performance for a much cheaper rate
The affordable TCL 6 series has excellent overall image quality, with deep black levels, very good brightness, rich contrast and accurate color. Its Roku smart TV platform is the best available, with a simple interface and extensive streaming app support. The TV handles both HDR10 and Dolby Vision high dynamic range sources.
TCL’s 6-Series combines stunning 4K HDR picture performance which
delivers stunning detail and a remarkable visual experience and the award-winning Roku TV smart platform in a bold, brushed metal design for a superior TV experience. The Roku TV is an egalitarian operating system that handily retains its top spot as the best operating system year after year. It’s intuitive to use (if a bit boring) and its lack of ties to a particular streaming platform allow it to point you to all the places content can be found without bias. Dolby Vision delivers greater brightness and contrast, as well as a fuller palette of rich colors.
The full-array panel is one of the benefit you will enjoy in the TCL TV beter than its range Tvs. Also known as TCL’s Contrast Control Zone technology which individually optimizes the image across up to 160 zones to yield striking contrast between light and dark areas. The 6-Series models’ iPQ Engine™ provides precise color replication while HDR Pro Gamma significantly improves HDR performance in any setting. Powerful performance is complemented by the award-winning Roku OS smart TV platform.
The full backlight of the 6-Series allows this television to offer high levels of peak brightness, but most importantly, it gives all of the 6-Series models some truly decent full-array local dimming (also called FALD) as well, by which the backlights can be shut off in specific zones for much better onscreen contrast.
This 65″ TV with stand measuring 57.1″ x 32.9″ x 3″ shows its much wider than most other 65″ TVs in its range, with its bold, brushed metal design which is complemented by an elegant power button jewel on the front bezel, communicating the 6-Series’ power and refinement even before you turn it on.
The 6-Series stand on two metal v-shaped legs that have rubber padding on the bottom to prevent slippage. They can be fitted relatively quickly, and the TV should be up and running in a matter of minutes if you have all of your cables sorted and ready to be plugged in.
From behind the TV is quite basic, and is very similar to last year’s model. There are two groups of inputs on the rear of the TV. One is inset and directed down, and can be difficult to access if the TV is placed close to the wall. The second group is directed out the side of the TV and provides easier access. Although, TCL’s 6-Series is a bit on the thick side, but that’s because it houses the all-important full-array panel.
Still under the hood, the TCL 65″ 6 series features the WCG (Wide Color Gamut) capabilities that come from its NBP Photon technology. As well as, NBP, or Nano Band Phosphor which uses high-output LEDs with precision phosphors that help the 6-Series display 93% of the DCI-P3 color space.
The TCl 6 series also sports the HDR Pro Gamma that allows you to change your TV from Dark HDR modes for your stereotypical home theater, to Bright HDR for your window-lit living room and Normal HDR for anywhere in between. This helps fight back against fading colors and blown out images but it merely puts a band-aid on the TV’s light issues.
Thanks to the OS you can now turn your smartphone or tablet into a convenient streaming companion. Use it as a remote, plug in headphones for private listening, search with your voice or keyboard, and turn your phone into your very own entertainment guide.
The TCL 6 Series is definitely worth its very reasonable and budget-friendly price tag and for this reason we absolutely recommend it to buyers who want some premium performance and features without spending out of budget on similarly sized premium 4K TVs from Samsung, Sony, LG or other premium brands. And the TCL 6 Series does indeed offer several high-level specs.
